Original art by Sandrine Curtiss

I started these two little paintings today. I'm please with where they're going. I'm happy I'm getting more confident with oils. I was trying to figure out how to blend the background, and I think I got it in the second painting. I'm letting this first layer dry, and will go back at it to finish them soon. I'm very excited, I really like oil painting. Hopefully someday I'll be able to finish a painting in one sitting!
